I’ve had my share of heroes in this lifetime; I can’t possibly pick just one. A few heroes are: My parents who were my first teachers, my yoga/meditation teachers, my family and closest friends – I am grateful to all of them. What are your thoughts? What would you do to maintain peace? How do you contribute to making the world a peaceful place? Do share! Thank you. :-)

Thanks for this post – yes, peace. My day has been absolute hell and now I know how to make tomorrow better. My mum (78) has broken her hip so I am doing masses of running around for her because she refuses to be in hospital, Husband, Anthony (nearly 77) is having mini-strokes in the nursing lodge and dementia is creeping up, son, Ming, still doesn’t have a car licence so I am doing 100kms per day just driving to and fro for all of them and I just wanted to escape until I read your post – saved by your bell!

My mother was my hero and the peacemaker of the century. In the midst of turmoil, in a house full of chaos and occasional ugliness. She knew how to convince my brother, my sister, and me to go to sleep because tomorrow will be better. It always was.

I feel if you give your best …and try to treat and talk to others as the Golden Rule says…you will bring PEACE around you…What you give of yourself is usually reflected back at you…I truly believe this…mkg
